the other thing is boehner has a real problem. boehner is somewhat of a moderate. he may want to compromise on this. actually boehner and obama individually are incentivized to compromised but face people to the extremes in their parties who will prevent it. if boehner goes too far left, i really think the tea party will toss him right out. >> that's possible, but -- >> the lines are really drawn here, but president obama won the election. doesn't that buy him some capital here? >> oh, sure, and i think the fact that boehner comes right to the table, already doing interviews. republicans have wasted no time led by boehner saying there should be compromise and there's going to be a deal. we'll have to give on something. we might have to give a percent or two, but republicans aren't going to compromise their values. we're in this for the long haul. we believe in low taxes. we're not trading in all of our values because of one election result tuesday. we still hold half the cards in this town. people talk like the republican party is extinct. we control the house of r

speaker boehner was asked this week whether the republican drive to kill obamacare, is dead. here's what he said: >> it is pretty clear the president was reelected. obamacare is the law of the land. >> chris: question: do most house republicans, do you agree with speaker boehner, repeal of obamacare with this election, with his re-election, is dead? >> no. as a physician i can tell you that the reason -- we're not opposed to the president's health care law because of the election, we're opposed because it is bad policy and bad for the patients across this land. we actually must get a handle on this spending in this country and in order to do that, it has to be thr medicare and medicaid reform an social security reform, all three programs under current law are destined for fewer. we need fundamental reforms to save and strengthen and secure the programs for this generation and, future generations, that is what really -- >> the election, yes, you still have the majority in the house but you lost the election on the presidential level, and you will not kill obamacare for the nex

look at speaker boehner, he's showing that we need to show leadership. we have to work with the president. they have the message and they'll respond appropriately and you'll see. >> that's very optimistic. i think, i degree with armstrong, the next few weeks whether they got the message or not. we have this big issue coming up with all of these fiscal issues and boehner a year and a half ago, when this came up the last time, he was basically whipped by the tea party wing of his party. so, the real question is, whether he's able to go back to that tea party link and say what armstrong just said, work with the president, some degree on compromise on taxes and raising revenues. i think it's an open question whether he can do that and whether he can succeed in doing that. >> gentlemen, thanks so much. i appreciate your time today. >>> stick around. up next, i got actor and activist ally sheedy waiting in the wings. she'll be with me in a second. >>> welcome back. tens of thousands are still in the dark after hurricane sandy. power crews in new york and new j
